I would use caution in simply removing parts from the car before you reach a settlement with the other company- assuming their driver was at fault and you expect them to pay. If you can swap parts out you should have no problem but if their adjuster comes and the radio is removed or the radiator has been taken out you might have a problem reaching a good settlement.

What you might consider is reaching a settlement with them and then asking how much they want for the car. If you can purchase it for a reasonable amount you can then strip it out and call a yard to come pick up the carcass (you might want to check around and arrange this ahead of time). My recent experience with our 88 DL that was totaled when hit by a drunk driver is that the insurance company was willing to sell me the car for $300.

Good luck
Randy
